Ten Bookish Resolutions I am Hoping to Accomplish in 2018

Everybody get excited! I am going to start doing the Top Ten Tuesday meme that is currently being hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. There is a prompt given for every Tuesday and you make a list. Pretty simple but a lot of fun! This week’s prompt involves bookish goals. What a perfect list to make at the beginning of a new year. It will keep me accountable! We will check in at the end of the year to see how well I did.

Bookish Resolutions and Goals

1. Read 50 books in 2018: Starting with the basic, I am hoping to read 50 books this year. I am currently ahead of this goal so I am low key hoping that I surpass it but I know that life gets crazy as the year progresses. You can follow my progress on my Goodreads account.
2. My TBR: This year, I want to make a considerable dent in my TBR books. I somehow get distracted with new books or rereads and I never make any leeway on my list. Therefore, this year I will be focusing on reading all the books that I am actually excited to read!
3. Finish some series: I have started many series over the years and I hope to finish many of them this year. Some of these include The Lunar Chronicles, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Winner’s Curse, and The Grisha Verse Trilogy. Have you read any of these?
4. My Blog: Well, if you are reading this, you know that I have a blog. I have set some goals for my blog that I am hoping to reach within the year such as the typical (more views/likes/followers) and some personal (post more regularly and post what makes me happy).
5. My Bookstagram: Yes, I also have a bookstagram that I want to work on this year. I have not been happy with my photos lately and I want to make an effort to put more thought and creativity into my photographs. You can find my bookstagram here. (shameless plug)
6. My Redbubble store: Another thing you may not know is that I have a Redbubble store where I sell my designs on various products. My store can be found here. This year I am hoping to post more of my designs and create more art that I am proud of. Example of my designs below!

1. Improve my vocabulary: I always love learning new vocabulary that I can integrate into my everyday discourse. I want to do a buzz word every day that I can find a way to use that day. Maybe I will start posting them on my blog. Would anybody like that?
2. Review more: I reviewed a few books in 2017, however I want to review even more. I only recently started reviewing and I want to improve by doing it more and reading other reviews.
3. Read the book to movie adaptations of 2018: This year is going to be a fun year for book to movie adaptations and I am hoping to read many of them before I watch the film. The ones I am definitely going to read are Simone vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli, The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken, To all the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han, and Between Shades of Grey by Ruta Sepetys.
4. Book buying ban?: I am working on saving money this year so I might have to go on many many many book buying bans. I am sure I will buy a lot of books this year but I want to focus on getting used books and look for deals. I need to save money for the real world! But I still need my fictional worlds!

Thank you for reading this and thank you for going on this crazy journey with me this past year! I look forward to another successful year!

Love,

Jackie
